Step Aside, Two Buck Chuck: Trader Joe’s $3.99 Wine, Ranked

We, like all good millennials, love a good bargain. Blame it on the fact that we spend 75% of our income on rent and save our splurging for nights out at the bar or a new leather jacket. Whatever it is, you’ll be hard-pressed to find us spending more than $10 on a bottle of wine, especially when we’re drinking it solo in bed, with our best friends in front of our favorite TV show, or at the end of a particularly raucous night.

Like so many of our peers, we spent our college years throwing back Two Buck Chuck and slapping that bag of Franzia, only to realize that there is some merit in shelling out a few more bucks for a bottle of vino. If you’re still in the college mentality (both emotionally and financially), we hear you—desperate times call for desperate measures, and sometimes, you just want a nightcap without the hefty price tag.

Lucky for you, our totally unqualified team of Rally writers, managers, and social media mavens did the hard work for you. Take a step up from the Two Buck Chuck and let us enlighten you about Trader Joe’s $3.99 wine, ranked. But be warned: it wasn’t pretty.
